The Secret Life of Roald Dahl
I wasn't done with this rabbit hole after seeing Giant, which covered a few hours of his life. I wanted (needed?) more context and understanding. The very same cousin and fellow Louper, Anne K., who brought me to the show, Giant, also sent me this podcast. OMG, it was incredible, and I can't recommend it enough. The production, the writing, and the performance were all great, but the details of Roald Dahl's life towered over it all. There is so much that I didn't know about Roald Dahl; incredibly, his unmatched success as a children's book writer may have been the least interesting thing of all. I do not want to provide spoilers here, so I will let you discover it on your own. If you don't plan to listen, just go to his Wiki page. Nonetheless, you won't be disappointed, and you might not be able to stop listening through 11 episodes totaling over 7 hours (5.5 hours at 1.3x speed!). I think the author and narrator, Aaron Tracy, does a very good job, although he sometimes uses presentism to his detriment.
